Perspective

Show me the pictures
Impressions deep
Focus and perspective
Right angles, shades
Christ, Moses, Buddha
Or cumulus clouds licking the sky
The two-year-old twirling toddler
The worn face of a purple-hatted old lady

The smashed car
In front of the RR engine
An extinguished birthday cake
Show me the picture
Of myself
In front of the mirror
As the years travel
So quickly
Asking
"Is it really me?"
